Updates...

Well, it's been a couple months, I see.

This is Kylee writing...though you would have figured that out soon enough :) We had a wonderful Christmas break. We got to spend almost two full weeks in Minnesota visiting friends and family. It was great to see everyone, and it's always great to get home too. I feel like we're finally getting back into the groove this week at The Bridge. Things are going really well.

As you may know by our letters, Phil and I have been praying and asking you to join us in praying for wisdom regarding seminary and our housing. As far as seminary goes, we decided that it would be best to take a bit of a "sabbatical" this semester and drop back to only two classes. We'll see how it goes from there, whether I get back into a fulltime MDIV program, switch to a MTS degree, or just keep working part-time. The last two options mean that Phil and I would have to move out of seminary housing, as I would not be a full-time student. So, prayers in all of those directions would help.

I thank you all for praying for my sanity last semester too. Things got really hard there for awhile. I felt your prayers, and certainly feel them now that things have eased up.

So, this semester = sabbatical. I have half the school work to do, and I am not going to add additional hours to my work week at The Bridge. In the space created I plan on working on some art and doing some much needed reflection and writing...praying and resting. I'm excited to see what will come of this time...as I'm pretty sure I've never had such an opportunity before to be still. I'll keep you posted. :)
